SUBPART 2.8. Amendment to Section 2.7. Section 2.7 of the Existing Credit

SECTION 2.7. Register; Notes.
(a) Each Lender may maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the aggregate
Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each
Loan made by such Lender to the Borrowers, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to
time hereunder. In the case of a Lender that does not request,
pursuant to clause (b)(ii) below, execution and delivery of a Note
or Notes evidencing the Loans made by such Lender to the Borrowers,
such account or accounts shall, to the extent not inconsistent with
the notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be
conclusive and binding on the Borrowers absent demonstrable error;
provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such
account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect any
Obligations of any Borrower or any other Obligor.
(b)(i) Each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative
Agent to serve as its agent, solely for the purpose of this clause
(b), to maintain a register (the "Register") on which the
Administrative Agent will record each Lender's Commitments, the
Loans made by each Lender to the Borrowers and each repayment in
respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender to the
Borrowers and together with which the Administrative Agent shall
retain a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.11.1. Failure to make
any recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect
the Borrowers' joint and several obligations in respect of such
Loans. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the
absence of demonstrable error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name a Loan
(and, as provided in clause (ii), the Note evidencing such Loan, if
any) is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the
contrary. Any Commitment of any Lender and the Loans made pursuant
thereto may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part
only in accordance with Section 10.11 hereof and by registration of
such assignment or transfer in the Register. Any assignment or
transfer of any Commitment of any Lender or the Loans made pursuant
thereto shall be registered in the Register only upon delivery to
the Administrative Agent of a Lender Assignment Agreement duly
executed by the assignor thereof. No assignment or transfer of any
Commitment of any Lender or the Loans made pursuant thereto shall
be effective unless such assignment or transfer shall have been re-
corded in the Register by the Administrative Agent as provided in
this Section.
(ii) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the written request by
any Lender to the Administrative Agent, such Borrower will execute
and deliver to such Lender, as applicable, an applicable Revolving
Note, Term A Note, Term B Note, Term C Note and Swing Line Note
evidencing the Loans made by such Lender to the Borrowers. Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause
to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such
Lender's Notes (or on any continuation of such grid), which
notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the
outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest
Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations
shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the notations made by the
Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on
the Borrowers absent demonstrable error; provided, however, that the
failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or
otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrowers or any other
Obligor. The Loans evidenced by any such Note and interest thereon
shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section
10.11.1) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of
the payee named therein and its registered assigns. A Note and the
obligation evidenced thereby may be assigned or otherwise
transferred in whole or in part only in accordance with Section
10.11 hereof and by registration of such assignment or transfer of
such Note and the obligation evidenced thereby in the Register (and
each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of
all or part of an obligation evidenced by a Note shall be registered
in the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment
or transfer of the Note evidencing such obligation, accompanied by a
Lender Assignment Agreement duly executed by the assignor thereof,
and thereupon, if requested by the assignee, one or more new Notes
shall be issued by the Borrowers to the designated assignee and the
old Note or Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to
the Parent (on behalf of the Borrowers) marked "exchanged". No
assignment of a Note and the obligation evidenced thereby shall be
effective unless it shall have been recorded in the Register by the
Administrative Agent as provided in this Section.

such remaining Term Loan amortization payment), until all such Term
A Loans, Term B Loans and Term C Loans have been paid in full;
provided, however, that (i) any Lender that has Term B Loans or Term
C Loans outstanding may, by delivering a notice to the

Business Days prior to the date that such prepayment is to be made
in the case of Term B Loans or Term C Loans that are LIBO Rate Loans
or at least one Business Day prior to the date that such prepayment
is to be made in the case of Term B Loans or Term C Loans that are

Lender's Term Loans to the prepayment of Term A Loans, until paid
in full, and then to the prepayment of outstanding Revolving
Loans and (ii) no such prepayment of outstanding Revolving Loans
pursuant to clause (i) of this proviso shall result in a reduction
of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. The Administrative Agent

Person to whom such assignment and delegation is to be made, being hereinafter
referred to as an "Assignee Lender"), all or any fraction of such Lender's total
Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Outstandings
with respect thereto and Commitments (which assignment and delegation shall be,
as among Revolving Loan Commitments, Revolving Loans and participations in
Letters of Credit, of a constant, and not a varying, percentage), in a minimum
aggregate amount of (i) $1,000,000 (if such assignment and delegation is to a
then existing Lender) and (ii) $2,000,000 (if such assignment and delegation is
to a Person not then a Lender) or the then remaining amount of a Lender's Loans
and Commitments; provided, however, that any such Assignee Lender will comply,
if applicable, with the provisions contained in Section 4.6 and further,
provided, however, that, the Borrowers, each other Obligor and the Agents shall
be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee Lender
until
(c) written notice of such assignment and delegation, together
with payment instructions, addresses and related information with
respect to such Assignee Lender, shall have been given to the Parent
and the Agents by such Lender and such Assignee Lender,
(d) such Assignee Lender shall have executed and delivered to
the Parent and the Agents a Lender Assignment Agreement, accepted by
the Agents (if required),
(e) the processing fees described below shall have been paid,
and
(f) the Administrative Agent shall have registered such
assignment and delegation in the Register pursuant to clause (b) of
Section 2.7.
From and after the date that the Agents accept such Lender Assignment
Agreement and such assignment and delegation is registered in the Register
pursuant to clause (b) of Section 2.7, (x) the Assignee Lender thereunder shall
be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such
Assignee Lender in connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have
the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, and (y) the assignor Lender, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it in connection with
such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Any assignor Lender that shall
have previously requested and received any Note or Notes to which such
assignment applies shall, upon acceptance by the Administrative Agent of the
applicable Lender Assignment Agreement, mark such predecessor Note or Notes
"exchanged" and deliver them to the Parent (against, if the assignor Lender has
retained Loans or Commitments and has requested replacement Notes pursuant to
clause (b)(ii) of Section 2.7, its receipt of replacement Notes in the principal
amount of the Loans and Commitments retained by it). The Borrowers shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee
Lender) new Notes evidencing such Assignee Lender's assigned Loans and
Commitments and, if the assignor Lender has retained Loans and Commitments
hereunder, replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Loans and
Commitments retained by the assignor Lender hereunder (such Notes to be in
exchange for, but not in payment of, those Notes then held by such assignor
Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Notes.
Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Notes evidenced by the new
Notes, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the Lender Assignment
Agreement. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Notes evidenced by
the replacement Notes shall be paid to the assignor Lender. Accrued interest and
accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times provided in the predecessor
Notes and in this Agreement. Such assignor Lender or such Assignee Lender must
also pay a processing fee to the Administrative Agent upon delivery of any
Lender Assignment Agreement in the amount of $3,500. Any attempted assignment
and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 10.11.1 shall be null
and void. Nothing contained in this Section 10.11.1 shall prevent or prohibit
any Lender from pledging its rights (but not its obligations to make Loans)
under this Agreement and/or its Loans and/or its Notes hereunder (i) to a
Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such
Federal Reserve Bank or (ii) in the case of a Lender that is an investment fund,
to the trustee under the indenture to which such fund is a party in support of
its obligations to such trustee; provided, that any such assignment to a trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 10.11.1. In the
event that S&P, Moody's or Thompson's BankWatch (or InsuranceWatch Ratings
Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best's
Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender with a
Commitment to make Revolving Loans or participate in Letters of Credit becomes a
Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate of deposit rating or long-term
senior unsecured debt rating of such Lender, and the resulting rating shall be
below BBB-, Baa3 or C (or BB, in the case of Lender that is an insurance company
(or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings
Service)), then the Issuer shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon
notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with
an Assignee Lender in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in this Section, and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this
Section) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving
Loan Commitment under this Agreement to such Assignee Lender; provided, however,
that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or
order of any governmental authority and (ii) such Assignee Lender shall pay to
such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the
principal of and interest and fees (if any) accrued to the date of payment on
the Loans made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender hereunder
and all other amounts accrued for such Lender's account or owed to it hereunder.
